I am new to android and i have a tablet running gingerbread and i would like to know if there are app that are only for honeycomb or only for gingerbread ect... or if it doesn't matter and they can all run on any platform thank you.

Not many will or should sum so when you go to Market Android or AppBrain it sees your hardware first then OS and shows you what you're able to use. Also Gingerbread is far newer and uses way more processor speed and the Kernel on the tablet as well are far different.

is iRobot Apad capable of running android honeycomb?

Michael

I am planning to buy a iRobot aPad which has a current OS of Froyo 2.2... I was thinking if I could upgrade it to Honeycomb 3.2 since it has better features with the current froyo installed.

Answer
No, it is not capable of running 3.x, and probably never will be. You shouldn't expect much from these cheaper Chinese tablets.

How can I easily adapt my existing Android app to Honeycomb?

Adrian

Currently I have an app which works on Android 1.6 and above. I'd rather not have to rewrite a separate application for Honeycomb and I can't find much help anywhere. Is there an easy way for me to adapt it to work on Android 3.0+ with a proper tablet interface rather than just magnifying my Android-phone interface. Thanks!

Answer
You're going to have to write new XML layouts with different screen size qualifiers. Most of the time a layout designed for a small phone screen will have to be substantially redesigned to look nice on a tablet.
